Kings of the Game: Getting Back to the Game, Beginning with the NBA

Chapter 94

After McCollum got the ball, he didn't single out Liu Ming again.

But after the feint, the ball was passed to center Nurkic.

Although Nurkic scored the ball, the two on-site commentators were not prepared to give up the opportunity to taunt.

"Oh, CJ, what are you doing?"

"Did two blocks kill you?"

"A real man should choose to be straight!"

"Hehe, that's right! Where did you fall and where did you get back up until you couldn't get up anymore..."

Looking back, the Lakers attack.

This time, the Blazers stepped up their defense against Gasol in the backcourt.

Don't let him pass the ball casually.

The Lakers players all knew that Liu Ming had hot hands, so they were all covering for Liu Ming.

With Caruso's cover, Liu Ming got rid of CJ's defense.

After catching the ball at 45 degrees to the right, get into a shooting position.

The Blazers' center Nurkic quickly defended him.

The coach had already issued a death order just now, and the Dongguo man must not be allowed to shoot mid-range shots again.

So Nurkic has been paying attention to Liu Ming's every move.

Seeing him holding the ball, he immediately made up the defense, and said nothing to give him a chance to shoot.

At this time, Liu Ming didn't panic in the slightest when facing the tall and burly Nurkic.

With a sideways breakthrough, he deliberately moved in front of Nurkic.

In doing so, one can prevent the opponent from chasing the hat.

Second, fouls can be made, and the opponent dare not take off easily.

Immediately afterwards, before CJ was in place, the ball was passed to Zhuang Shen inside.

Zhuang Shen has been waiting in the paint for a long time.

Catch the ball violently, followed by a strong dunk with both hands.

Bang!
The basketball hoop was constantly swaying back and forth by him.

Everyone at the scene was stunned.

They thought that Liu Ming's goal would definitely come by himself.

After all, his sideways breakthrough was a stroke of genius.

If you hit a layup, you can even bet a 2+1.

Even if the layup is missed, there may be fouls and free throws.

It is a business that only makes money and does not lose money.

If it were replaced by the vast majority of people, they would choose to come by themselves without hesitation.

But Liu Ming chose to pass the ball to help his teammates!

Lakers coach Vogel saw this.

Although he was calm on the surface, he was quite satisfied in his heart.

This is the so-called golf quotient!
A player who plays with his brain can always choose the right technical action at the right time.

It was obvious from that ball just now.

Although you can play singles by yourself, 2+1 requires luck.

Free throws may not be able to hit all free throws, and there is a potential for injury.

But if the pass is different.

Get a steady assist for yourself, and the team will get a steady 2 points.

If a teammate chooses to dunk.

Maybe it can also reap the cheers of the fans to boost the morale of the team.

How to choose more wisely, it must be the latter!

Seeing this, the head coach of the Blazers shook his head slightly.

"It's a bit tricky!"

This Lakers No. 11 not only has excellent personal ability, but also has a strong sense of teamwork. Coupled with his excellent golf quotient, there seems to be no obvious shortcomings in his whole body.

After Zhuang Shen landed on the ground, he clapped hands with Liu Ming, "Liu, find a chance to pass a few more to my brother, my big ax is already hungry and thirsty."

"Ha, got it."

Zhuang Shen's autonomous offensive ability is very average.

Scoring at the basket all depends on eating cakes.

So if someone can give him a chance to pass, his enthusiasm for playing will become very high.

……

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed by 2 points.

Zhan Huang played and Liu Ming was replaced to rest.

This back and forth tug-of-war continued until the end of the first half.

However, in the third quarter, the situation on the field changed abruptly.

Except for Lillard, who opened with three three-pointers and then fell silent, suddenly broke out.

In just 2 minutes, he scored three ultra-long three-pointers in a row again.

The difference between the two teams opened up another 10 points in an instant.

The atmosphere at the Lakers' home court also instantly dropped to freezing point.

Gone are the deafening cheers, not even the boos of the Blazers.

Away muffler, Lillard reappears divine power!
The Lakers coach who noticed something was wrong quickly called a timeout.

Immediately afterwards, troops were dispatched to guard against Lillard.

An operation is as fierce as a tiger.

But Lillard feels like he doesn't recognize his relatives.

After returning from the timeout, he hit another three-pointer.

Vogel shook his head again and again.

It's so unreasonable!
Pope has already defended near the middle circle, but the [-]-pointer of the LOGO is not missed.

You can't blame Pope for being unreliable!

It can only be said that Lillard is really too tiger!
He looked at Liu Ming on the bench, and then at the time.

We only played 5 minutes in the third quarter, do we have to count on Miracle Liu again?
But Lillard is racing on the field.

The Lakers are unstoppable here.

So he had to send Liu Ming to try it out.

So taking advantage of the dead ball, the Lakers requested a timeout again.

"Liu, do you have the confidence to defend Lillard?" Vogel asked directly in front of the team.

Liu Ming glanced at Lillard at the far end of the court, "It's impossible to defend against him. If you let me play, I will choose to play against him!"

Facing the crazy Lillard, no one dares to say that he will be able to hold it down.

Even if there is a system, it will not work!

This guy's shot is so emotional.

I feel it, no matter how I cast it.

It has nothing to do with reason at all, and it is completely detached from the general laws.

Interference is useless.

Fouls can be 3+1, how do you defend.

This time, not only Vogel was stunned, but the Lakers including James were also shocked.

"Fight against each other?"

"We work hard for 2 points, but others shoot 3 points easily. The gap will only get bigger and bigger. How can we fight like this!"

Liu Ming nodded, "He voted for him, and we hit ours. The so-called breeze blows the hills, and the moon shines on the river. Let's bet that his hit rate will definitely decrease after his physical strength declines."

"Facing a crazy top shooter, it is impossible for you to rely on defense to hold him down. You can only exchange time with counterattacks, constantly consuming his physical strength and state."

In fact, what Liu Ming thought in his heart was, isn't it just a bet on the hit rate?

Pass it all to me!
I'm cheating!

If Lillard can ignore even the B, then the gods will not be able to save the Lakers in this game.

It's just that this is suspected of blatantly fighting for the ball.

Especially when James is on the court, this is even easier to say.

At this time, James also said, "Coach, I think you might as well let Liu go up and try to defend. Lillard's height is a disadvantage after all. After Liu goes up, he can defend if he can. If he can't defend, it is at least a stable scoring point."

Vogel nodded, "Liu, after you go up, try it first."

"Row!"

Back from timeout, the Lakers attack.

James assisted Kuz to make the basket immediately.

Looking back, Lillard dribbles.

The rest of the Lakers have retreated to the backcourt.

But Liu Ming didn't retreat immediately.

Instead, it started to put defensive pressure on Lillard from the frontcourt.

Every time Lillard moves forward, he has to prevent Liu Ming from taking the ball.

He had to keep pushing Liu Ming away with his body to move forward.

Naturally, more physical effort is required.

But after halftime, Lillard suddenly took a step back and faltered.

Then he made a super long three-pointer.

Swish!
The sound from behind made Liu Ming somewhat annoyed.

This is Li Guidance, who killed the madman.

People block and kill people, Buddhas block and kill Buddhas!

Looking back, James assisted Liu Ming and also responded with a corner three-pointer.

The point difference has not widened, and the Lakers are still 13 points behind!
It's the Blazers' turn to attack again.

Lillard didn't dribble more than half court this time around.

Instead, let the super green leaf McCollum of the combo guard dribble.

Obviously, Lillard saw through Liu Ming's intention to consume his energy.

So I chose to control the ball after halftime.

After receiving the ball, Lillard dribbled around the [-]-point line.

Liu Ming stayed on every step, his eyes fixed on Lillard's shoulder.

Through patient and careful observation, Liu Ming discovered it a long time ago.

Lillard's shooting habits are different from ordinary people.

His shot point is not on the top of his head, but on his forehead.

It's about the point where his index finger points to his eyebrow.

After lowering the release point, Lillard can make more use of lower body strength to increase the shooting range.

Moreover, when Lillard shoots, he will habitually have an obvious sinking action.

Naturally, sinking the ball is also to ensure the rhythm and stability of each shot.

But his ball sinking and squat synergy is very good, obviously after hard training.

This also led to his extremely high long-range shooting percentage.

However, this habit of sinking the ball just left a loophole for Liu Ming to block.

Just like this time.

Lillard took a regular step back and made a blatant shot two meters away from the three-point line.

The moment he sank the ball, Liu Ming jumped high!
But the timing was not right, and the block failed!

Swish!
The three-pointer hit hollow again!
"hiss!"

The audience gasped.

Liu Ming also shook his head again and again.

A metamorphosis like Lillard who has a range after half the court and has no dead ends in all directions.

It's really hard to guard against.

Although Liu Ming already has a certain grasp of Lillard's shooting habits.

However, how could that damn timing be so easy to grasp.

No trick, just guard against two pretending.

Then honestly focus on attacking, let's fight against each other!
